prophecy fulfilled
Foretold outcome materialized
Prophecy fulfilled describes a prediction—especially a religious or mystical one—that has come to pass.
The phrase carries weight in religious contexts, where fulfilled prophecies serve as evidence of divine foreknowledge: Christians see Jesus's birth in Bethlehem as prophecy fulfilled.
More loosely, it applies to any prediction vindicated by events: The economist's warning about inflation was prophecy fulfilled.
